[U-Boot-Users] make: *** [u-boot] Error 139

[Anthony Russello]

Hi,

I'm trying to compile u-boot version 1.1.2 unmodifed
on an iBook G4 with the following specs:

glibc: 2.3.4
gcc: 3.4.3
binutils: 2.15.90.0.3-r3

Here are the steps I'm using, please let me know if
I've screwed something up:

make Sandpoint8245_config
make

The build appears to go through fine until near the
end, where it is trying to use ld with the option:

...-Map u-boot.map -o u-boot

Then I see this every time in the same place:

make: *** [u-boot] Error 139

u-boot.map is empty at this point.

The exact same thing happens when I try to build
u-boot using a cross compiler built on an x86 machine
for a powerpc 603e cpu.  u-boot.map is also empty

Also, I get the exact same error when trying to do the
same task on a Pegasos machine running Debian.  The
only difference on the Pegasos machine is that it
actually gets part way through creating
u-boot.map.u-boot.map actually contains some data.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.  My
attempts to look the issue up through google have
yielded results like "check the hardware, bad ram or
disk corruption", or, "it's the fault of binutils
2.15".

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, as I've
wasted two days changing and rebuilding cross
compilers, and testing on different machines.

Thanks in advance,
Anthony

Dear Anthony,

it has always been a good idea to read or even search (!)  a  bit  in
the mailing list archives BEFORE posting.

You should consider this, too.

Your binutils are broken. File a bug report.

The latter is the correct answer.

What a waste of effort. The very same problem has been discussed here
JUST YESTERDAY.

Looks like the problem which I found long time ago in binutils but have
no time to fix. What I discovered is that if you request link map (-Map)
and the linker command file (u-boot.lds) contains conditional statement
(in u-boot it's usually DEFINED(env_offset) ? env_offset : .) then the
linker crashes. I don't know if Sandpoint needs this statement, maybe it
can be removed, otherwise remove -Map.

Ummm... this is definitely NOT the right way to address such a problem.

Instead, the bug in the linker should  get  fixed.  For  this  is  it
necessary to report it. So please report it, if necessary again.

Best regards,

I've made a report to bug-binutils at gnu.org. Absolutely no clue as to
when exactly this will be dealt with, but at least its a step towards
right direction.

Thanks. Ummm.. It shouldn't be too difficult to debug  given  thefact
that it's so easily reproducable. How about trying it yourself?

Hmmm that's something I've never thought about doing.
May sound like I'm trying to put this aside, but right at this moment,
I've got a headache that's been grown to the size of migraine over 1
year period. After this is over, I'll see what I can do to return the
favor to the gnu folks. :)
